Millwall secured a place in the Championship play-offs with a narrow 1-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday. This win was crucial for Alex Neil's team, who dominated with 24 shots but faced a scare when Charlie McNeill hit the crossbar. The decisive moment came in the 71st minute when Femi Azeez scored, propelling Millwall to fourth in the standings.
Sheffield United climbed out of relegation by defeating Portsmouth 3-0 at Bramall Lane. This victory followed their triumph over Wednesday in the Steel City derby. Sydie Peck converted a penalty, and Gustavo Hamer added another goal before Patrick Bamford scored his first for the club, ending his goal drought since April 2024.
Birmingham City managed a 1-1 draw against West Brom, thanks to Marvin Ducksch's
late equaliser. Alex Mowatt had earlier given West Brom the lead at The Hawthorns. Meanwhile, Wrexham defeated Bristol City 2-0 with Nathan Broadhand's impressive strike and an own goal from Radek Vitek contributing to their success.
In another match, QPR emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers, courtesy of Paul Smyth's goal. These results have kept the competition intense as teams vie for better positions in the league.

Millwall's tally of 24 shots is their highest in a Championship match this season. They have also maintained six clean sheets in their 17 games so far. Only Coventry City and Stoke City have more shutouts with seven each. Patrick Bamford ended his scoring drought with his first goal since joining Sheffield United, marking his first since April 2024 when he played for Leeds United against Middlesbrough.
West Brom has struggled to maintain leads this season, losing 12 points from winning positions—the most by any team in the Championship so far. This statistic highlights their need to improve game management as they aim to climb up the table.
